Style Lessons We Can Learn From The Best-Dressed List (PHOTOS)

  • Selena Gomez In Dolce & Gabbana

    This is how you wear a cropped top. The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/15/spring-breakers-opening-ceremony-line_n_2883052.html" target="_blank">"Spring Breakers" actress </a>shows off a mere inch of skin at the narrowest part of her body (right under her rib cage). She compensates for the risqu? cut with a high-waisted, knee-length skirt that is the epitome of ladylike. Austin, March 10th Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Halle Berry In Reem Acra

    Halle Berry's dress is a feat of modern mechanics. How does it stay put? We are guessing that the "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/12/cloud-atlas-halle-berry_n_1962349.html" target="_blank">Cloud Atlas</a>" actress is held in with careful corsetry inside the dress and strategically-placed double-sided tape. Whatever the case, she looks stunning. Her dress is the ideal combination of sexy (that d?colletage! that slit!) and sophisticated (we love a knee-length hem that balances out the allure).

  • Bella Thorne

    This playful dress is just right for a casual event. The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/27/shake-it-up-star-bella-thorne_n_1628476.html" target="_blank">Disney star </a>kept her look youthful with a side-braid and fun makeup. Los Angeles, March 7th Photo Credit: WireImage

  • Eva Longoria In John Galliano

    The "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/13/eva-longoria-tv_n_2869629.html" target="_blank">Desperate Housewives</a>" actress plays up her rich skin tone in this tomato-hued gown. The simple nature of her dress gave her room to add interest with beach-y waves and dramatic smokey eyes. Rio De Janeiro, March 11th Photo Credit: Getty Images Sport

  • Kaley Cuoco In Monique Lhuillier

    <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/29/big-bang-theory-kaley-cuoco-johnny-galecki_n_2211355.html" target="_blank">"The Big Bang Theory" actress</a> is celebrating four years of her successful TV show, and looking stunning doing so. The keyhole showcases a little skin and manages to look sexy without showing off too much. Hollywood ladies, take note. Los Angeles, March 11th Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Olivia Wilde In Herve Leger by Max Azria

    The genius of this dress is all in the details. The curved designs all point inward to her waist, creating an hourglass silhouette which she accents with a shiny black belt. Her red shoes are just the pop of color this look needs. Brava. The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, March 12th Photo Credit: NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images

  • Kirsten Dunst In Proenza Schouler

    It's rare that we put a simple black dress on the best-dressed list, but <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/31/kirsten-dunst-different-shoes_n_1847069.html" target="_blank">Dunst</a> pulls it off with details that are anything but boring. Her flushed cheeks, red lips and white heels keep our eyes moving while the belt cinches her waist and the slit adds a touch of sexiness. Los Angeles, March 12th Photo Credit: FilmMagic

  • Padma Lakshmi In Monique Lhuillier

    It's rare that prints work on a red carpet. Leave it to <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/11/padma-lakshmi-bikini-top-chef-host-hot-mama-photo_n_2277227.html" target="_blank">Padma</a> to wear a patterned gown which leaves us agog. The simple cut of the dress allows for a bit of whimsy in the detailed print. Simple hair, pink lipstick and gorgeous earrings add just a bit of oomph to an already gorgeous look.

  • Jessica Alba In Michael Kors

    The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/05/jessica-alba-sexy-womens-health_n_2621984.html" target="_blank">mother of two</a> has a love affair with printed denim, and we can see why. She complements eye-catching pants with neutral, structured tops and sky-high heels. New York City, March 11th Photo Credit: FilmMagic

  • Michelle Monaghan In Roksanda Ilincic

    Ahhh, thank you Michelle Monaghan for a burst of bright color! The tangerine hue of the "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/christine-a-scheller/machine-gun-preacher-poses-tough-questions_b_971992.html" target="_blank">Machine Gun Preacher</a>" star's dress not only stands out, but it also looks drop-dead gorgeous on the redhead. The dress isn't clingy, but the white triangle at the side creates the illusion of a waist. The nude clutch and pumps are just the right accents for such a colorful dress. Austin, March 9th Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Allison Williams In Narciso Rodriguez

    It's called the "Miracle Dress" because, like magic, it creates an hourglass figure. Our eyes are drawn to the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/13/allison-williams-kanye-stronger-girls-video_n_2865900.html" target="_blank">"Girls" star</a>'s upper body, and the arrow at her waist shows off a trim middle. The dark panels on the side and the knee-length hem fashion curves on the slim star. Williams was smart to keep the rest of her look simple: All she needed was lipstick and sexy shoes for the perfect talk-show outfit.

  • Candice Swanepoel In Sandro Top And Alexander Wang Pants

    <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/13/alessandra-ambrosio-candice-swanepoel-photos_n_2866924.html" target="_blank">The Victoria's Secret model</a> hit a style home run in this simple, yet sophisticated outfit (that we will be copying ASAP). The white sweatshirt and pants meet at her waist, creating an hourglass shape. Her sunglasses and shoes add fashion-forward touches to an otherwise easy look. New York City, March 13th Photo Credit: FilmMagic

  • Karlie Kloss And Alessandra Ambrosio In Cushnie et Ochs And Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti

    The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/08/karlie-kloss-haircut-the-karlie-photos_n_2094516.html" target="_blank">model</a> gets curvy thanks to this sexy dress. The geometric detail at the shoulders and bust create an interesting frame for her face, while also pulling focus to her bust. We love that the bottom half of her dress is simple and demure to compensate for the top. Los Angeles, March 12th Photo Credit: WireImage

  • Mila Kunis In Atelier Versace

    The beer-drinking actress has been on a red-carpet winning streak while out promoting "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/07/oz-the-great-and-powerful_n_2830485.html?utm_hp_ref=entertainment">Oz: The Great And The Powerful</a>." This burgundy gown sets off her olive complexion, but it's the contoured stripes that accentuate her lovely hourglass figure. Moscow, February 27th Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Jessica Chastain In Vintage Yves Saint Laurent

    The "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-bromwich/torture-zero-dark-thirty_b_2512767.html">Zero Dark Thirty</a>" actress has been spotted front row at numerous fashion shows recently. She hit the Saint Laurent show in a cherry-red vintage YSL dress. The jewel tone plays off her pale complexion and red hair beautifully, while the elbow-length sleeves and demure hemline balance out the plunging neckline nicely. Paris, March 4th Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Anna Wintour In Prada

    We love a sleek coat with a touch of irony. The Vogue editor shows her whimsical side with this floral topper. Paris, March 5th Photo Credit: WireImage

  • Rachel Weisz In Michael Kors

    We normally shy away from dresses that are so close to one's skin tone, but <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/07/daniel-craig-wife-_n_2426329.html">Daniel Craig</a>'s wife knows what she's doing. Her dark hair, plum lipstick and bordeaux nails offer enough contrast, while the princess neckline and slim belt show off her stunning figure. London, February 28th Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Emmy Rossum In Oscar de la Renta

    The "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/02/emmy-rossum-shameless_n_2398212.html">Shameless</a>" actress wears a dress fit for a queen. The demure nature of this floral frock is offset by those sassy green pumps and her tousled waves. New York City, March 5th Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Ginnifer Goodwin In Raoul

    The "<a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/243167/from-big-love-to-bad-love-ginnifer-goodwin-calls-off-engagement">Big Love</a>" actress shines in this coral frock. The jeweled neckline is reminiscent of something Audrey Hepburn would wear, while the tulip skirt draws our attention to her tiny waistline. Los Angeles, March 3rd Photo Credit: WireImage

  • Solange Knowles

    A simple turtleneck sweater and A-line skirt are eye-catching thanks to visual flair. The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/13/solange-knowles-beyonce-photos-pictures_n_2680632.html">singer's</a> graphic black-and-white top plays off her shoes nicely, and the skirt is neutral middle ground. New York City, March 6th Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Joan Smalls

    Va-va-voom! The model didn't need any accessories with this striking gown. Her shoulder and leg say it all! Paris, March 5th Photo Credit: WireImage

  • Michelle Williams In Burberry Prorsum

    The blonde "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/07/oz-the-great-and-powerful_n_2830485.html?utm_hp_ref=entertainment">Oz: The Great And The Powerful</a>" star stuns in this deep turquoise shift dress. But look closer: the dress is made out of feathers. Our minds are blown. London, February 28th Photo Credit: WireImage

  • Milla Jovovich

    Crisp and simple, this is a look that could translate to the boardroom as easily as it works in the front row. The unbuttoned slouchy blouse contrasts nicely with the wide-leg trousers. Paris, March 5th Photo Credit: WireImage

  • Naomi Watts

    A statement coat is important since you essentially live in it for four months of the year. "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/14/the-impossible-spanish-cast-the-real-reason-why-the-impossible_n_2474492.html">The Impossible</a>" actress went with a winter white topper with a mod '60s vibe courtesy of padded shoulders and shiny buttons. Those accessories add some flavor to this outfit, but it's Watts' gorgeous gams that we can't take our eyes off of. Paris, March 6th Photo Credit: WireImage

  • Olivia Palermo

    So much detail in one outfit! Her '50s-style makeup is a departure for the usually bare-faced <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/10/olivia-palermo-website_n_1003876.html">socialite</a> style setter. Her horizontal stripes and sheer overlay are busy, but the sophisticated black coat and pumps tone the outfit down. Paris, March 1st Photo Credit: WireImage

  • Renee Zellweger In Prada

    The "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/13/new-bridget-jones-movie-helen-fielding_n_2124699.html">Bridget Jones</a>" super actress received a lot of attention for her stunning dress at the Oscars. She keeps up her sartorial winning streak in this simple-yet hyphenladylike black dress. The illusion top adds interest, while the sleek pumps up the sexy factor. Paris, March 6th Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Zoe Saldana In Miu Miu

    Normally an all-black ensemble leaves us wanting more. But the "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/20/zoe-saldana-nina-simone-biopic-casting-controversy_n_2165356.html">Nina</a>" actress pumps it up with a sophisticated camel coat. Her neutral-colored outfit got the ultimate zing with her cherry-red lipstick. Paris, March 6th Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Jennifer Lawrence In Lanvin

    The "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/23/indie-spirit-awards-2013-silver-linings-playbook_n_2751423.html">Silver Linings Playbook</a>" actress could do no wrong this awards season. Wow. The necklace collar of her dress draws attention to her shoulders, while the cutout apron-style top has us agog. And the asymmetric wrap skirt is just long enough to balance out the bare top. We love that she wore simple strappy heels and kept her hair off her face to let the dress take the spotlight. Los Angeles, February 23rd Photo Credit: Getty Image

  • Amy Poehler In David Meister

    <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/amy-poehler/">The comedienne</a>'s navy sheath dress hit all the right marks thanks to perfect fit -- note the waist-defining belt -- and colorful accessories. Los Angeles, February 23rd Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Jennifer Hudson

    It's not often that we see the "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/27/smash-hudson-sheryl-lee-ralph-video_n_2771995.html?utm_hp_ref=black-voices&ir=Black Voices">Smash</a>" star in pants, but she pulls them off well. The wide-legged trousers create contrast with her tiny waistline and her bordeaux lipstick adds just the right accent of color to an otherwise dark outfit. Los Angeles, February 22nd Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Kate Bosworth In Chanel

    Upon first glance, we weren't blown away by this look. But something caught our eye, causing us to do a double-take, which is the genius of this dress. The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/02/happy-birthday-kate-bosworth-photos_n_2395334.html">stylish star's</a> standing collar and exaggerated sleeves add interest, while also framing her pretty face. Los Angeles, February 23rd Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Marion Cotillard In Christian Dior Haute Couture

    We love the "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/21/rust-and-bone-review-marion-cotillard_n_2170275.html">Rust And Bone</a>" actress. Her style is daring, yet she always manages to nail it. Her strapless gown is simple in its shape (fitted through the waist, with a full skirt) but the unraveling stripe details give it panache. Paris, February 22nd Photo Credit: WireImage

  • Zoe Saldana In Dolce & Gabbana

    It can be tough to make stripes work on the red carpet. The "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/03/star-trek-into-darkness-trailer_n_2611888.html">Star Trek Into Darkness</a>" actress pulls it off with stripes in opposing directions. The vertical lines on top draw the attention to her waist, and the horizontal stripes make for an accentuated A-line silhouette, creating curves on the slim star. Los Angeles, February 23rd Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Kerry Washington In Giambattista Valli Couture

    The green floral pattern reminds us of one of Monet's masterpieces. Additionally, the racerback top and slim belt give the slim star a shapely figure. Los Angeles, February 23rd Photo Credit: WireImage

  • Kelly Rowland In Fendi

    The former <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/10/destinys-child-love-songs-beyonce-kelly-rowland-michelle-williams_n_2448935.html">Destiny's Child</a> member looks gorgeous in this top-and-skirt combo. The blouse is the perfect mix of blousy (those sleeves!) and fitted enough to keep things sleek. The skirt shows off her waist and trim lower body, but is the right length for a sophisticated look. Her jewelry and shoes add a bit of fun flair. Los Angeles, February 21st Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Solange Knowles

    Oh, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/13/solange-knowles-beyonce-photos-pictures_n_2680632.html">Solange</a>, you just keep us wanting more! Not many people can pull off mixing bold hues the way Beyonc?'s little sister does. Her sunny, citrus-y outfit works because she kept the silhouette oh-so-simple: each item is in its most basic iteration. New York City, February 26th Photo Credit: FilmMagic

  • Sarah Jessica Parker

    The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/25/sarah-jessica-parker-i-dont-know-how-she-does-it_n_936428.html">style icon</a> power clashes like no other. Her polka dot dress and graphic print sweater complement each other nicely because they are in the same color palette. The pink shoes add a nice pop of color (and have us reaching for our credit cards). New York City, February 25th Photo Credit: WireImage

  • Octavia Spencer

    It's no secret that <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/christina-anderson/the-help-octavia-spencer-2012-photos_b_2125289.html">we love the Oscar-winning actress</a>. She knows her body and dresses it well in looks that emphasize her waist. This pretty sapphire-hued dress is full of fun details: A Peter-Pan collar contrasts with a lace illusion neckline, while the tiered hemline creates interest and draws the focus down to those fabulous shoes. Los Angeles, February 22nd Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Sofia Coppola

    The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/14/lost-in-translation-sofia-coppola-photo_n_2132924.html">renowned director</a> has a signature understated, yet tailored style. Her navy and black take on a pant suit is slim enough to show off her silhouette, and the traditional cut allows her some freedom to play with fashion-forward details like puff sleeves, rich brocade and cropped pants. Los Angeles, February 23rd Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Poppy Delevingne

    Who would have thought that such a shapeless dress could be so flattering? The secret is in the skin-baring top and short hemline, which contrast the cocoon-like shape of the frock. Of course, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/01/poppy-delevingne-photo_n_2050105.html">the socialite </a>chose eye-catching accessories that play off the jewel-encrusted hemline and add just enough sparkle. Los Angeles, February 23rd Photo Credit: FilmMagic

  • Sharon Stone

    The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/29/sharon-stone-nip-slip-braless_n_1637470.html">blonde actress </a>has never looked better. Her black gown is demure in that it's full-coverage, but those sheer accents make for an alluring effect, without showing off too much. Her simple hair and makeup -- plus those stunning emerald baubles -- create an outstanding outfit. Well done. Los Angeles, February 24th Photo Credit: Getty Images for Chopard

  • Amber Heard In Versace Couture

    A black gown paired with red lipstick screams silver screen siren all the way. The star of "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/25/the-rum-diary-johnny-depp-hunter-s-thompson_n_1030117.html">The Rum Diary</a>" upped the ante even more in this detailed gown whose geometric sequined design emphasized her trim upper body, while the sheer illusion at the bottom kept the look sexy. Los Angeles, February 24th Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Jennifer Westfeldt

    <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/15/blonde-brunette-hair-makeover_n_2134210.html">Blondes look gorgeous in black</a>. It's something about the contrast between the golden locks and the stark hue. The actress (and Jon Hamm's better half) kept her look interesting with different textures. The fitted bustier top of her gown is a rich velvet, while the brocade skirt keeps the eye moving. Los Angeles, February 24th Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Taylor Swift In Elie Saab

    The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/21/taylor-swift-djaying_n_2733993.html">country star</a> had one thing on her mind when she donned this sexy gown for the Brit Awards: revenge! Harry Styles' jaw must've dropped when he spied the gorgeous blonde in this sleek frock. The gold belt draws the focus to her waist, and then to those exposed legs. Kapow! London, February 20th Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Solange Knowles

    <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/solange-knowles">Beyonc?'s little sister</a> is known for her fashion flair, and she doesn't disappoint. The trick to wearing bold patterns and eye-catching accessories is to tone down the look with a simple blazer. Her red lips add just the right pop of color. Los Angeles, February 13th Photo Credit: FilmMagic

  • Amy Poehler In Herv? Leroux

    Simple and gorgeous. The "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/14/amy-poehler-parks-and-recreation-star-fear_n_2458162.html">Parks And Recreation</a>" comedienne shows off her hourglass silhouette in a sheath dress, that, though fitted, remains demure with a below-the-knee hemline and long sleeves. Los Angeles, February 17th Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Naomie Harris

    We love this take on the "Miracle Dress." The panels on the side draw the eye inward, creating a slimming effect. Additionally, pretty patterns in the panels work to create interest while the strappy heels add a touch of sexiness. Los Angeles, February 21st Photo Credit: FilmMagic

  • Alexa Chung

    This is how to wear white in the winter. A chunky cable knit sweater keeps the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/12/maje-alexa-chung-2012-hair_n_1960029.html">British model</a> warm and maintains that winter-y feel, while the ladylike full skirt counters the oversized feeling of the topper. London, February 18th Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Olivia Palermo

    The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/10/olivia-palermo-website_n_1003876.html">TV personality</a> looks scholarly, yet chic in her tailored blazer and A-line skirt. The clutch adds a bit of whimsical detail that keeps the outfit from looking dowdy. London, February 18th Photo Credit: Getty Images

  • Anne Hathaway In Gucci

    The "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/20/les-miserables-extended-trailer-anne-hathaway-russell-crowe-hugh-jackman_n_1900640.html">Les Miserables</a>" actress stuns in a sequined minidress. The style lesson here is in balancing the length and shape. This frock is just short enough without going too short, and the silhouette is body-skimming rather than skintight. Her mod eye liner is the focus in this barely there makeup. Los Angeles, February 19th Photo Credit: FilmMagic

  • Chloe Grace Moretz In Dior

    The "<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/11/hugo-martin-scorsese-film_n_1004854.html">Hugo</a>" actress looks sophisticated, yet youthful in this black dress. The heavy duchess satin gives the gown style gravitas, while her messy hair and smokey eyes keep her looking edgy. Los Angeles, February 19th Photo Credit: Getty Images
